Shahrukh in legal trouble for disrespecting tricolor

Shahrukh Khan is again in the news for all wrong reason. Social
worker Ravindra Brahme (40) has lodged a case against Bollywood actor Shahrukh
Khan for disrespecting the national flag during world cup final held in April,
2011.

"We have decided to start a movement against people who show disrespect
to the Indian flag and if we find such people, we will start registering
complaints against them without thinking of their stature," Brahme said.
"In SRK’s case, I was surfing the net and on one website I found some
pictures in which he was waving the Indian flag in Mumbai after India won the
cricket World Cup on April 2, 2011. While waving the flag, he ignored the fact
that saffron colour was at the bottom and the green colour was on top."

He said that Khan was a role model and an iconic figure for the youth in the
country and so should act responsibly. "If he indulged in such acts, the
youth will also emulate him," Brahme said. "I have registered a case
against Khan with the Chatushringi police station and the case has been
transferred to the Bandra police station in Mumbai, where Khan resides."

Police Inspector (Crime) Subhash Nikam of the Chatushringi police station,
said: "We have registered the case against Shah Rukh Khan under the
relevant sections of the Prevention of Insult to National Honour (Amendment)
Act on August 14 after Brahme approached us. Since the incident had taken place
in Mumbai, the case has been transferred to the Bandra police station and the
police there will be investigating the matter further."

Ravindra Brahme also filed complaint against model Gehna Vashist at the
Deccan Gymkhana police station for humiliating the national flag by using it as
a bikini for a photo shoot in Mumbai. Gehna was arrested by Deccan Gymkhana
police officials on Saturday.
